Daft little update.
Biceps glued together , still gonna add a slit and have it flex at the back and then use either rubber cord or elastic.
Gave everything a soft wipe with a scotch pad ( the red ones ) to add a better key and weather depending it’s primer time.
Can add the colour to all the bits and stilll then mod the shoulder bridges and sides when I need to
Have ordered some shoulder straps from Paul prentice and have the bell brackets and elastic strap already.
have the webbing and snaps ready to go and more industrial Velcro than I know what to do with.
Tempted to use the Velcro hook the bells up rather than a snap to make it easier to dress and connect the bell to the bicep in the usual way.
